WE want every democrat in Pope county in any way connected with the third party movement to read the following paragraph taken from a recent issue Of the Globe Demo crat and then ask himself if he can conscientiously lend his influence longer to scheme so villainous. Here is what that paper says:
 "Ex-Speaker Carlisle declares that "the Labor party is unnecessary" MT. Cleveland and every other lead ing Democrat in the country share this opinion. Nevertheless, as that party is going to give the Republ- cans a hand in driving the Demo- crats out of power in 1888, every sensible, conscientious citizen will agree, about fiften months hence, that the Labor party amply vindlcat ed it's right to exist"
 Thls is the design in nut shell. It IS understood all along the line. See the unanimity with which south ern republicans endorse the move ment. Look at Harper, the man who nominated Lincoln for the presi dency, and blatant republican dem- agague, stumping the south in the interest of the new party. The proofs are conclusive. The labor movement is republican side show, adroitly conceived by republican party managers, and unblushingly conducted by their tools in the South.

The Issnes of1862.

Little Rock Democrat: MT. Car lisle, when interviewed by the New York Herald. had this to say about the issues of 1888:
 You ask what will be the issue of 1888. That depends largely on what may be done in congress during the next session, and to some extent np- on the public characters and anteced- ents of the nominees of the two con ventIons. Unless taxation is reduc- ed and the revenues cut down to such an extent as to prevent large accumulation of money in the treas ury, the tariff question will inevita bly, be very prominent one in the next canvass. l hope an adjustment may be made which will relieve the treasury and the people and settle this vexatious question for time at least. But have recently seen some expression as opinions and purposes which are not at all encouraging. The revenue reform Democrats will do all Tn their power, by making reasonable concessions and otherwise, to secure proper legislation upon this subject, and If nothing IS done the responsibility must be taken by others. We are willing to meet our political associates of all shades Of opinion upon thls subject in party caucus, and support such a measure of revision and reduction as the majority may agree upon after full and free interchange of views, and we have always been willing to do this. We recognize the fact that in adjusting the details of measure which affects so many conflicting in- terests concessions must be made on all sides, and the honest opinion of all who really desire to reform our revenue laws and reduce taxes must be respected as far as possible. All we can reasonably hope for is to pass such bill as will meet the general approval of the majority in the main features, and this we can do if all Democrats will work together h good faith. The platform of the Ohio Democracy, which l have just read, indicates a return to the true principles and policies of the party, and if our friends everywhere will initiate the spirit which appears to have animated their State conven- tion, there will soon be perfect har- mony in the party on the subject of taxation.
 This agrees with the views of Hen ry Watterson and all other leading Democrats, to stand by the true principles of Democracy on the tariff question.

ALLEN c. Thurman Is getting to be a pretty old man, and has virtu- ally retired for all time from public life. He keeps an eye on the politi. cal situation, however, and is, doubt less, one of the best informed men in the country on the public pulse ana the chances of parties and party candidates. Mir. Thurman was in tervlewed the other day, and while he was 10th to give his opinion, lie finally said that neither Mir. Bisine nor Mir. Sherman can be elected agalnst MT. Cleveland He further said that Mr. Cleveland is the strong est man the democratic party can name.

TIE following practical and we'll timed query Is asked by the DesArc Citizen:
 What is the tariff plank in the Union Labor Party? Farmers have you carefully examined? Do you know that the leaders on one side are protectionists and would be glad to see you pay five dollars for a wool hat, and the other wing, led by Henry George wants to take all of your property and have land in com mon.
 Neither of these theories will suit the farmers of this country, for it places them between two fires. Sensi ble, thinking farmers, better re- turn to your first love-grand old democracy.-Beebe Argus.

Slo- cum for infamous cotton transac tions. Now, he is spokesman for Iowa republicans and essays to in suit q democratic president.

The Labor Movement.

The DEMOCRAT takes pleasure in calling the attention of it's readers to the following remarks of Mir. Car lisle:
 What was originally intended as a labor movement seems to have been converted into a mere political movement and IS now being directed by ambitious politicians instead of practical workingmen. Labor or ganizations formed for mutual i'm proyement and protection, for the promotion of social intercourse and the material and moral advancement of their members arc not only un- objectionable and meritorious, and should be encouraged Laborers have perfect right to organize for the purpose of controlling their own business, but when they organize to control the bushes of other people it is quite a different thing. When you speak of the labor movement in connections with elections I suppose you mean the existing political labor movement, which regard as very different thing from the organization which preceded it. Labor organiza- tons in the real and proper sence of the term, will continue to exist as long as mankind IS doomed to toll, but these political associations will crumble to pieces like all their pre- decessors. They will never, in my opinion, be sufficiently strong or compact to control any State or na- tlonal election in this country. In mere local elections they may for awhile either elect their own candi- dates or determine the contest be- tween the candidates of the other parties, but beyond this they will accomplish nothing. Some of the measures proposed by this new party are also advocated by both the old ones, while others are opposed by both the old ones and an overwhelming majority of the people. As to certain measures, therefore, the party is entirely use. less, and to all others It is utterly powerless. Permanent political par lies can not be created by revolu ton. They must grow spontaneous ty out of certain conditions of pubhc affairs, and there are no such condl- tions now existing in this country as to call for new party. If, how ever, the Labor party should con. tinue its organazation until the presi- dential election, and should nomi nate candidates, 1 do not see how it can injure the Democracy, except possibly Tn the State of New York. The vote of the Labor party will be confined almost exclusively to the large cities, and they are generally located in Republican States. It is true that Baltimore, New Orleans, Louisville, and other very consider able cities, are situated in Democrat ic States, but the new party will not be able to control enough votes to to give any one of those States to the Republicans. am not sufficient ly acquainted with the situation in New York City to justify me in ex pressing q positive opinion concern ing the effect of the labor vote there, but it seems reasonable to suppose that the old parties would loose in about equal proportions according to their numbers.

Want of SIeep

Is sending thousands annually to the insane asylum and the doctors say this trouble is alarmingly on the increase. The usual remedies, while they may give temporary relief, are likely to do more harm than good. What is needed is an Alterative and Blood-purifier. Ayers Sarsaparilla is incomparaby the best. It corrects those disturbances in the circulation which cause sleepless- ness, gives increased vitality, and res stores the nervous system to healthfui condition.

No Compromise.

Memphis Appeal; w hat MT. Breck' enridge of Arkansas says elsewhere is right. There is no room for com promise on the tariff question. The democratic party, in view of the steady advance and growth of the prohibition sentiment, cannot assume the responsibility for cheaper whisky by removing from that fighting bev- craze the internal revenue tax. Nor will it do to take the internal reve- nue tax from tobacco, which is a luxury, so long as there is single necessary of life that is not on the free list. The internal revenue tax must not be touched, notwithstand ing tue entreaties of Virginia, Ken lucky, North Carolina and Illinois. What the people want and what the democratic party Is pledged to is a reduction of the tariff that will re duce the increasing annual surplus of revenue and relieve the people of all taxes on the neccessaries of life
 lin other words, put the people on the free list. All food products and all clothing, boots, shoes, hats and caps should be free of duty. Mir. Breckenridge, of Arkansas, is right, and the people of the South will in dorse hlm. What he says is in strict conformity with the democratic plat. form and pledges. Revise the tariff as much as may be necessary to re- duce the surplus, and let the internal revenue alone.

Hon. c. k. Breckenridge and the
 Tariff.

The position of our representative, Hon. c. R. Breckenridge, has the ring of the true democratic metal. Why build up one industry to the impoverishment Of an other industry The sentiment that "all food pro- ducts and all clothing, boots, shoes, hats and caps shall be free of duty" will find favor with the farmers of the South. What the people want and what the democratic party is pledged to. is reduction of the tariff that will reduce the increasing annual surplus of revenue and re- lieve the people of all taxes on the necessaries of life--in other words, put the people on the free llst," is sound democratic doctrine.

A Grateful Catarrh Sufferer.

Gentlemen have been a victim
of catarrh for seventeen years. The
misery of those years cannot be COM
p~rehensibly told to those who have
never been afflicted with catarrh.
During those years l tried all the
physicians / had access to, and all the
remedies / saw recommended for
catarrh. But got relief from none.
Last year / heard of the cure of a
friend who had used S. s. S., and
/ therefore began to take it. Icom-
menced last fall, and continued its
use until the coolest part of the win
ter, when I-stopped. This medicine
gave me the first relief I have had in
seventeen years, and continued to
grow better all the while / was taking
the medicine, and during the cold
weather when l had ceased its use.
My left nostril was about closed with
polypus when l began taking S. S. S.
and now that is about gone, and |
feel very much better than l have for
years. | shall continue the medicine
a few months longer, that 1 may en-
tirely eradicate the disease from
which / have suffered so much. My
first relief came through your valu-
able and ~efficacious S. SIS.
With gratitude, 1 am yours truly,
w. M. FINDLY.
